Surprise time.

Some reading this will point towards WWE's own established booking style and say that Sasha Banks has no chance of winning on Thursday. After all, she beat Becky Lynch (with help from Bianca Belair) on the latest SmackDown. That, traditionally, means she won't be involved in the finish on pay-per-view.

Screw that. Banks is the only one of these three women who's staying put on team blue, and this match is for the SmackDown Women's Title. WWE might've painted themselves into a corner here by drafting both Becky and Bianca to Raw whilst Lynch was still in possession of the Friday night strap.

This seems to happen every year, doesn't it?

It'd be rather naff if Becky and Charlotte Flair, who has since been traded to SmackDown, swapped titles like The Street Profits and New Day did last year. No-one wants a repeat of that tripe, so Sasha taking the win is the only result that's sensible.
